I don't see a problem with word "race"... If someone sees this as a problem, then it's their problem, not content problem. But I do not know why you bring up this post here. We've talked about this only in romance context.
Yeah, it's not really on topic and it tends to go to some non-awesome places, so let's not go there.

That is certainly one of possible reasons ...
Personaly i dont see anything racist in not being attacted in one metter tall "(fe-)male" with beard, deep harsh woice and beer breath ... Especialy if you are elf. [snip]

I have noticed a scant few instances where they do refer to your species:
Lae'zel mentions it when she insults your nose after you free her (after you mention her species).
When Shadowheart comments that she never thought she would have cared about tieflings, she includes you in that if you are a tiefling.
Astarion says he's "not normally impressed by people of your stature but..." if you're a halfling (and presumably if you were dwarf).
